Needless to say I have had numerous fights with him on FPM and some of his views are odd and unsavory.<BR/><BR/>However he has supported the war in Iraq and Afghanistan , unlike many Muslims. He is a foe of CAIR and is highly critical of the Wahabi influence in this country.<BR/>Unlike the word games of CAIR he criticizes terror without equivocation.<BR/><BR/>Schwartz envisions a modern cosmopolitan type of Islam. He has called for the opening of Mecca to all faiths. However, I am not packing my bags to visit.<BR/><BR/>Schwartz has creamed Justin Raimondoon several ocasions leaving Raimondo sputtering for days. Raimondo considers Schwartz a high profile foe and spends more time trying to debunk his articles. <BR/><BR/>A person is known by their friends and enemies. Stephen Schwartz is a friend of David Horowitz, Ronald Radosh, Nina Shea and Rocco Dippo of the Autonomist. In fact Rocco has a fairly recent post about lunch with Schwartz in DC. We can safely asume Rocco is a patriot.<BR/><BR/>A person is also known by their enemies . He is the Ultimate foe of CAIR and Justin Raimondo. He has placed his life on the line and has recieved numerous threats.<BR/>He has a lengthy body of work that explains his positions that can be viewed at Tech Central Station and Front Page Magazine. <BR/><BR/>The bottom line is I do not always agree with Schwartz but I respect him as a writer and thinker. Schwartz's friends and enemies speak louder and more eloquently then I ever could.beakerkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088967209404588378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-1146108808488925832006-04-26T22:33:00.000-05:002006-04-26T22:33:00.000-05:00aow - i've been thinking about this post of beak's...aow - i've been thinking about this post of beak's all day and i cannot buy into a moderate islam - it would be like admitting that jehovah's witnesses are christians. it doesn't wash. sure he's a great writer, but he's amiss in his take on islam. it's like people who take the feely good parts of the bible and build a religion on it.<BR/><BR/>for that matter, the persons who wrote the koran were brilliant writers - don't they have a billion plus followers? <BR/><BR/>otherwise a very good review of the first part of the book.nanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08809768490674110768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-1146100648137471962006-04-26T20:17:00.000-05:002006-04-26T20:17:00.000-05:00Why is Schwartz so patriotic?

Is he practicing his personally revised version of Islam and thereby doing a type of rationalizing?<BR/><BR/>I wonder how many Muslims there are like Stephen Schwartz?<BR/><BR/>Lots of questions on my part.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01216119321836479641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-1146097964949542712006-04-26T19:32:00.000-05:002006-04-26T19:32:00.000-05:00Beak,You are being spammed!Is this guy really a Mu...Beak,<BR/>You are being spammed!<BR/>Is this guy really a Muslim?Dan Zarembahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09067140150563192288noreply@blogger.com
